Scottydunno Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 1 hour ago, THE RZA said: I’ll save you loads of time. as @thefultonhowsaid you could to 84 to 81. You can also do 95 to 287 across the Tappan Zee, take 287 S in NJ, get on 78 W in Bridgewater, NJ and take that all the way to where 78 ends and merges in to 81 just outside of Harrisburg, then another hour half or so to Carlisle. So 95S-287S-78W-81S That drive sux! 84 to 81 is way nicer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZJonny Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Finger Lakes sounds pretty cool to me, but since it's also closer than Carlisle, there is a bit of a bias there as well. Certainly some good roads, and great places to do some camping as well as eating... Still game for anything, and mspranks offer is incredibly generous as well! The only thing that concerns me personally about camping at peoples homes is, uhm... dogs. Strange dogs scare the beeejusus out of me, and I can usually circumvent this at parks by getting a spot in the quiet/dog-free areas so I can actually enjoy my time there. It's not a deal-breaker, but if say, someone had a couple of "friendly" large breed dogs, I would need to know in advance, and either make the decision not to go, or at very least find a place to stay a couple kms away, or what have you. More on topic is how adulting sucks. It wasn't that long ago that I would've needed like 24 hours notice to pack a duffel bag, grab my passport and head off on a weekend roadtrip somewhere cool to meet people and go camping or what have you. Now looking months ahead and trying to juggle work, time away and all kinds of other responsibilities it's ridiculous. And I'm not married and don't have kids. I can't imagine how you guys with families manage it! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseenlo Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Adulting, is by far the biggest hurdle for me. The weekends is just catching up on all the shit we couldn't get done during the week. We have two kids now both under 3, so it's a real challenge. We will have to plan for some sort of childcare. I won't be voting just yet, but there are some weekends that are blocked already i.e. Mothers/Fathers day and Birthdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBerk Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Gosh - seeing all these old names is pretty cool. I'm FB friends with @SBT - I'll mention it to him. I *probably* won't attend (being one of the only gals out here puts me in a different spot), but wanted to chime in and say hi! It's been at least 4-5 years since I've been on this site. Legacy GT is long gone - we're now up to a '20 Forester and '23 Ascent Touring. Gotta pull the camper! @thefultonhow good to see you out here! And I know at least one of you was on the latest 48hrs of Tristate drive - just can figure out which one. (Hi @Enlight!)

m sprank Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I have Dales number, I was just trying to get him to post. We last spoke at Christmas. Good to see @JJBerk is still around. I have not seen @Paisan in 13 or 14 years. We used to speak regularly when I had the shop. Great dude and would be thrilled to see him again as well. I currently have no dogs. 2 indoor only cats. Neighbor to the west has a boxer. She is friendly and is fenced. Neighbor to the east has 2 small terriers, they have invisifence. If anything the terriers are more vocal. I would suspect the deer venturing into the yard from the woods behind (south) my house are the unwelcome guests. My daughter loves it when she camps out back and they come up to check out her tent. Everyone is on about a 3 acre parcel so its not like any neighbor is too close. Technically they are far enough away that I can legally shoot from my deck. Wife has not allowed me to take a deer from the yard. But the overgrown ground hogs are running scared, lol. Wife shrugged when I mentioned LGT campers. She said "as long as they park on the grass so I can get out of the garage". 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 30 minutes shorter to go 287 to 78, if you don't hit any traffic on 95 (big "if"). Plus the Tappan Zee is $10 round trip, and the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge is $1.55. 2 hours ago, JJBerk said: @thefultonhow good to see you out here! Sup Jeni!

Enlight Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Thanks, @m sprank, the offer is indeed generous. W. Virginia also has great roads. My only concern is that Harper's Ferry is south of everyone, resulting in longer travel times for the large Boston area contingent. I will take a backseat, however, and let everyone chime in.

If everyone likes that idea I'm fine with it . I don't want anyone to be left out, and there is plenty of time for other to chime in, but it does seem like, say, Finger Lakes are really central, and there is a motor sports park there as well. Maybe if a good time is had by all etc...., there may be even more interest in something a little more pan-east coast in future, which would attract more attention and justify a central location along the coast? Potentially gauge interest a little further out as well, or whatever makes it sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlight Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 So far... May 26-28 June 2-4 June 23-25 Are tied for the lead, including @thefultonhow's votes cast on Doodle. It's difficult choosing the tiebreaker because it means some people will get to attend and others won't, though I am inclined to weight @boxkita's vote a little heavier since the East Coast will probably not be able to host him again anytime soon. In the meantime, I will continue to let the votes trickle in. 4 muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
